<h2>Greetings</h2>

Answer:

Yes, they are.

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3>1st rate)</h3>

Lets simplify both rates to the rate typer per minute.

(m is minutes)

3m = 96

Divide both sides by 3:

$\frac{3m}{3} = \frac{96}{3}$

m = 32

So the rate is 32 words per minute.

<h3>2nd rate</h3>

5m = 160

Divide both sides by 5:

$\frac{5m}{5} = \frac{160}{5}$

m = 32

<h3>So because the rates per minute are the same, they are equivalent.</h3>

Write an equation that is parallel to y = 3x and passes through (-4 , -3)

Anit [1.1K]

The slopes of two parallel lines must be identical.

We have slope $m=3$ , so the slope for the parallel line be the same.

Now, to find an equation that also passes through the given point, we use slope-point form, $y-y_1=m(x-x_1)$ , where our point $(-4,-3)$ is substituted for $(x_1,y_1)$ .

$y+3=3(x+4)$

Now, we convert to slope-intercept form as such.

$y=3x+12-3\\y=3x+9$

And we are done. :) We can verify graphically that these are indeed parallel lines. See attached.

Solve the equation. Round to the nearest hundredth. Show work.

Burka [1]

Answer:

$x=-0.75$

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation is

$4^{-5x-7}=6^{2x-1}$

We take logarithm of both sides to base 10.

$\log(4^{-5x-7})=\log(6^{2x-1})$

$(-5x-7)\log(4)=(2x-1)\log(6)$

We expand the brackets to get;

$-5x\log(4)-7\log(4)=2x\log(6)-\log(6)$

Group similar terms;

$-7\log(4)+\log(6)=2x\log(6)+5x\log(4)$

$-7\log(4)+\log(6)=(2\log(6)+5\log(4))x$

$\frac{-7\log(4)+\log(6)}{(2\log(6)+5\log(4))}=x$

$x=-0.752478$

To the nearest hundredth.

$x=-0.75$

The length of a rectangular carpet is 4 feet greater than twice its width. If the area is 48 square feet, find the carpet’s leng

Sonbull [250]

l = 2w + 4

l * w = 48

We can substitute l with its value:

2w + 4 * w = 48

2w^2 + 4w - 48 = 0

2(w^2 + 2w - 24) = 0

2(w+6)(w-4) = 0

w = {4, -6}
